Capturing the world through photography, video and multimedia

The wreck of the Costa Concordia cruise ship is prepared to be towed away near the port of Giglio Island. The Costa Concordia was floating again, 30 months after the cruise ship hit a reef and capsized off the island of Giglio in central Italy. The Concordia wrecked on Jan. 13, 2012, after the ship was steered too close to Giglio. Thirty-two of the 4,229 people onboard were killed. A diver also died during the salvage work.

The Costa Concordia cruise shipwreck emerges from water on Sept. 16, 2013, near the harbor of Giglio, Italy. Salvage workers attempt to raise the cruise ship in the largest and most expensive maritime salvage operation in history, so-called "parbuckling," to rotate the ship by a series of cables and hydraulic machines.

Vessels rest aside the shipwrecked Costa Concordia. Operations to pump thousands of gallons of potentially hazardous fuel from the tanks of the ship began Feb. 12 after weeks of delay caused by inclement weather.

Italian coast guard Capt. Gregorio De Falco, center, arrives at the Grosseto court to be questioned in the investigation of the accident. In a recording of a dramatic phone conversation released Tuesday, De Falco was heard ordering the captain of the Costa Concordia back on board to oversee the evacuation. But Capt. Francesco Schettino resisted the order, saying it was too dark and the ship was tipping dangerously. "You go on board! Is that clear? Do you hear me?" De Falco shouted as the captain of the grounded cruise liner sat safely in a life raft while frantic passengers struggled to escape after the ship rammed into a rocky reef and tipped on its side off the Tuscan coast.

Firefighters look at a rock emerging from the side of the Costa Concordia. The Italian coast guard says its divers have found two more bodies aboard. That brings to five the number of known dead after the luxury ship ran aground with about 4,200 people aboard Friday night.

The luxury cruise ship Costa Concordia lists on its starboard side off the port of Giglio after running aground at the tiny Tuscan island, sending water pouring in through a 160-foot gash in the hull and forcing the evacuation of some 4,200 people from the vessel, the Italian coast guard said. The number of dead and injured is not yet confirmed, Coast Guard Cmdr. Francesco Paolillo said.

The luxury cruise ship ran aground on Jan 13, 2012, sending water pouring in through a 160-foot gash in the hull. There were 4,000 passengers aboard the vessel; 32 passengers and crew were killed.

IT APPEARS TO ME THAT THE CAPTAIN OR WHOMEVER WAS AT THE HELM, STEERED FOR THE LIGHTHOUSE AND DID NOT TURN AT THE APPROPRIATE TIME TO REMAIN IN THE DEEP CHANNEL, POSSIBLY MISSING THE CHANNEL MARKER BUOY AT THE TURN POINT, HIS RADAR SHOULD OF DISPLAYED IT . IF HE WAS EXCEEDING THE SAFE SPEED FOR THE VESSEL'S ABILITY OF THE SHIP TO NEGOTIATE THE TURN THAT WOULD CONTRIBUTE TO THE INCIDENT
